STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

BUSINESS REVIEW
 
The Company’s principal activities are the operation of 5 elderly care homes across Devon, accommodating up to 200 residents, providing exceptional residential, nursing and dementia care. The Company provides a supportive environment for all residents and staff, reinforced by the Company’s CARE values – Committed, Ambition, Responsible, Embracing – prioritising individual wellbeing, comfort and happiness throughout the homes.
Income for the year of £10,705,749 was consistent with the prior year. The Company’s long-standing reputation for excellence continues to attract both residents and skilled workers.
Average occupancy for the year was 84.5%, consistent with the Southwest regional average as per Knight Frank’s 2024 Benchmarking Report. The current year has, to date of reporting, seen occupancy levels increase to 91%, highlighting strong demand and presenting a positive outlook for the year.
The Directors continue to advocate outstanding levels of care whilst optimising operational efficiency. They remain committed to invest in staff development and improving systems, alongside investing in the environments and facilities offered to provide a safe and enjoyable provision for all.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
 
Reputation & Regularity Risks
At the end of the financial year the Company retains 1 home rated ‘Outstanding’ and 4 homes rated as ‘Good’ overall by regulator CQC.
Significant investment was made during the year in launching the Radar Healthcare compliance system across all homes. This innovative software increases focus on delivering exceptional care, enhanced efficiency, accountability and transparency. Key benefits include real-time monitoring and pro-active risk management, supporting the Company’s strategic objective in optimising operational efficiency.
During the last 4 months of the financial year safeguarding concerns were identified in one of the homes. Whilst the Company retained existing residents in the home, it took the decision to temporarily close this home to new admissions whilst the concerns were effectively addressed, in partnership with the CQC. 
Feedback from residents and families is an important KPI and this information is used to support the Company’s continuous improvement practices. The Company is pleased to report the current average group score on carehome.co.uk is 9.8/10 from verified reviews.
Staffing
Recruitment and retention of Health and Social Care staff remains a challenge at both a local and national level. The Company continues to monitor the market to ensure the pay and benefits package is competitive for attracting and retaining staff.
To support improved retention and staff development, the Company undertook a comprehensive review of training requirements to clearly define mandatory requirements and opportunities for personal development. In conjunction with this, the booking system was improved, providing a streamlined process for both online training and interactive workshops. Separate focussed day sessions with key personnel have also taken place throughout the year, promoting the strengthening of best practices.
Early in the year, the leadership team expanded with the appointment of both a new Director of Operations and Non-Executive Chairman. These new appointees bring a wealth of insight and experience within the care sector and are a valuable resource, supporting the continued investment and growth plans of the Company.
Investment
The Company continues to invest substantially in ongoing maintenance and environmental improvements to all the homes. Continual upgrading of the settings provides sustained environments rich for daily living and prioritising ever-changing needs of the residents.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
 
The Company monitors KPI’s on a weekly and monthly basis. The Directors consider the key performance indicators are occupancy levels, fee rates, EBITDA and direct wage costs as a percentage of turnover.
                                             FY 2024/25          FY 2023/24
EBITDA                                          £309,228            £955,850
Direct wages as a % of turnover           62%                 67%

Financial risk management
Credit risk is managed by closely controlling trading activity and regularly monitoring counterparty positions. The Directors do not see this as a significant risk.
The Company have loan facilities which accrue interest at 1.25%, 1.33% and 2.02% over the base rate, per annum. The Company has sufficient cash reserves and thus, the Directors do not see this as a significant risk.
To maintain liquidity, ensuring that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the Company mitigates risk through managing cash generation by its operations. At present, the Company has sufficient cash resources to ensure it can meet liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future.


This report was approved by the board on 10 December 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PENINSULA CARE HOMES LIMITED
OPINION


We have audited the financial statements of Peninsula Care Homes Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of income and retained earnings, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of cash flows, and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


BASIS FOR OPINION


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN


In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.


Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.


OTHER INFORMATION


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual ReportOur opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PENINSULA CARE HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

OPINION ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.


RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

PENINSULA CARE HOMES LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PENINSULA CARE HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance;
results of our enquiries of the directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities

We have obtained and reviewed the Company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:

identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations

We have considered the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding now and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we have considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the highest area of risk to be in relation to revenue recognition, with a particular risk in relation to year-end cut-off. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the UK Companies Act, Financial Reporting Standard 102 and UK tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Company’s ability to operate or avoid a material penalty. These included Care Quality Commission regulations, data protection legislation, health and safety regulations, food hygiene regulations, and employment legislation.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation claims;
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement or fraud;
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting

PENINSULA CARE HOMES LIMITED
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PENINSULA CARE HOMES LIMITED (CONTINUED)

estimates are indicative of a potential bias and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
 
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.


GENERAL INFORMATION

Peninsula Care Homes Limited is a limited liability company incorporated in the United Kingdom. The registered office is: Parkland House Residential Home, Barley Lane, Exeter, Devon, EX4 1TA. The principal activity of the company is that of the running of residential and nursing care homes. 

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
2.1

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

GOING CONCERN

The business environment within which we operate in England continues to be challenging for us and many other businesses. The challenges are high levels of inflation, a continued staffing crisis worsened by Brexit, high interest rates and a longer delay between filling bed vacancies. Our financial position is sound and our budget is to continue this level of financial performance. 
 
The Directors are continuing to monitor developments in a rapidly changing business environment and will endeavour to take such steps as are required to ensure that the company is able to continue to function for the foreseeable future.  At present the company has sufficient cash resources to ensure it can meet liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and results for the first quarter of the year have been satisfactory. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis.

 
2.3

REVENUE

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.4

OPERATING LEASES: THE COMPANY AS LESSEE

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.5

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.6

FINANCE COSTS

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.7

PENSIONS

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.8

CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXATION

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.9

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property
-
2%
reducing balance
Long-term leasehold property
-
over the term of the lease
Plant and machinery
-
10%
reducing balance
Motor vehicles
-
25%
reducing balance
Fixtures and fittings
-
15%
reducing balance
Computer equipment
-
33%
reducing balance

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

 
2.10

DEBTORS

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

 
2.11

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.

 
2.12

CREDITORS

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 
2.13

PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

 
2.14

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.

 
2.15

DIVIDENDS

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.


3.



JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
 
KEY ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported for balance sheet date and the amounts reported for
revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes
could differ from those estimates. Management do not consider there to be estimates or assumptions that
pose a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
within the next financial year.
